Mental Illness or Social Sickness?

By Susan Rosenthal - Solidarity Is The Best Medicine
Psychiatry presents itself as a branch of medicine that diagnoses and treats mental illness in the same way that other branches of medicine diagnose and treat physical illness. This claim does not hold up under scrutiny...Psychiatry is not a medical science; it is pseudoscience – ideology disguised as science. Psychiatry developed to meet capitalism’s need for social control and psychiatrists’ need for paying customers.
